“…The mire buffer had also been compared to dry soils at 10 cm depth (Raney et al ., 2014; 2016); our results confirm those findings at 5 cm depth and extend them to the full year. Also, in concordance with our results, the air temperature measured at 0.5 m from the surface of boreal Russian bogs is lower at the wetter zones, at least during the warmest months (Philippov and Yurchenko, 2019). Thus, the pattern is reproducible among years (out to 5 years), seems to take place both at southern and northern latitudes and may affect not only the temperature in the soil but also air temperatures within a certain distance from the soil.…”

“…Traditional models of species responses to global warming are based on macroclimatic data from weather stations. Recently, several authors have pointed out the need of complementing these models with in situ microclimatic measures (Maclean et al ., 2019; Philippov and Yurchenko, 2019; Lembrechts et al ., 2019a; 2019b). As has been shown for European forests (Zellweger et al ., 2020), ecosystems usually respond to broad climatic changes through local processes.…”

Ecosystems adapt differently to global warming through microclimatic factors. Mires are sensitive wetland habitats that strongly rely on local soil properties, making them a good model to understand how local climatic parameters counteract the effects of climate change. We quantified the temperature buffering effect in waterlogged mire soils as compared with adjacent dry soils. We buried dataloggers at 5 cm depth in waterlogged and dry points in eight mires of the Cantabrian Mountains (Spain, southwestern Europe) and recorded soil temperatures for ca. 5 years. We also compared our local measures with air temperatures predicted by the CHELSA model. Waterlogged soils had less diurnal thermal amplitude (−2.3 C), less annual thermal amplitude (−5.1 C), cooler summer maxima (−4.3 C) and warmer winter minima (+0.8 C). CHELSA air temperatures only correlated significantly (p < .05) with winter minimum soil temperatures (Pearson's r > .83), and CHELSA predictions were less accurate (higher root-mean-square error [RMSE]) for waterlogged soils, except for the summer maxima. We conclude that mire soils show a thermal buffer effect that insulates them from the surrounding landscape. This effect is stronger at the warm end of the climatic spectrum, that is, during summer and at lower elevations. These results highlight the potential refugial character of mires under global warming, and the need to integrate microclimate measurements into climate change models.

“…Shichengskoe wetland is a large mire area including the peat bog (Shichengskoe mire), intra-mire lakes (Shichengskoe Lake, Plakunovskoe Lake, Polyanok Lake) and rivers (Glukhaya Sondushka River, Sondushka River, Shichenga River), nameless mire streams and brooks, fen strips and lags, Sphagnum hollows, secondary hollow-pools and disturbed areas ( Philippov 2017 ). Chemical characteristics of the intra-mire water objects were reported earlier ( Philippov and Yurchenko 2020 ), as well as the data on microclimate differences between the mire sites ( Philippov and Yurchenko 2019 ).…”

“…It is worth noting that we also obtained data on the hydrochemical composition of water ( Philippov 2014 , Philippov and Yurchenko 2020 ), microclimatic conditions ( Philippov and Yurchenko 2019 ), heavy metal contamination of the mire surface ( Shevchenko et al 2018 ) and mercury contamination of peat ( Udodenko and Philippov 2017 ).…”

The paper is based on the dataset whose purpose was to deliver, in the form of GBIF-mediated data, diverse materials on the biodiversity of a large mire, Shichengskoe mire (Vologda Region, north-western Russia), including its various mire sites and intra-mire water bodies. The dataset was based on our materials collected for two decades (from 2000 to 2021) in different parts and biotopes of the Shichengskoe mire and complemented by scarce data obtained previously by other researchers. The data contain materials on the diversity of Animalia (2886 occurrences), Bacteria (22), Chromista (256), Fungi (111), Plantae (2463) and Protozoa (131). Within the study period, the most detailed and long-term biodiversity studies were carried out for higher plants and invertebrates. On the other hand, the data on the composition of lichens, protozoa, algae, basidiomycetes, some groups of invertebrates and, to a lesser extent, lichens and vertebrates are far less comprehensive and require further substantial research efforts. The list includes occurrences from both the peatland (mire sites and mire margins different in typology) and the objects of the mire hydrographic network. In a standardised form, this article summarises both already published (mainly in Russian) and unpublished materials. The paper summarises the results of long-term research on the biodiversity of a boreal mire, including its hydrographic network. A total of 5869 occurrences were included in the dataset published in the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF, gbif.org) for the first time. According to the GBIF taxonomic backbone, the dataset covers 1358 taxa, including 1250 lower-rank taxa (species, subspecies, varieties, forms) and 108 taxa identified to the genus level. Several species found in the Shichengskoe mire, mainly belonging to Bacteria, Chromista and Protozoa, have never been listed in GBIF for the territory of Russia before. The overwhelming majority of occurrences and identified species came from the territory of Shichengskiy Landscape Reserve. Due to our work, this Reserve is now the most studied regional reserve in the Vologda Region with respect to biodiversity. By the number of revealed species, it is close to two federal protected areas: Darwinskiy State Nature Biospheric Reserve and National Park "Russkiy Sever".

“…The majority of published studies on the link between peatland ecohydrological processes and meteorological conditions so far focus on bogs (ombrotrophic peatlands or rainfed mires; Price, 1996;Ruseckas and Grigaliūnas, 2008;Bourgault et al, 2019;Philippov and Yurchenko, 2019), while similar studies on fens are sparse. Therefore, meteorological effects on water table dynamics in fens, especially with a focus on different management measures (such as rewetting or artificial drainage), are understudied.…”

Meteorological Controls on Water Table Dynamics in Fen Peatlands Depend on Management Regimes

Fens belong to the most threatened ecosystems in Europe. Maintaining a high water table through rewetting is an effective measure to rehabilitate many of their ecosystem functions. However, the impact of meteorological conditions such as vapor pressure deficit (VPD) and precipitation on water tables is still unclear for rewetted fens. Here, we compare the impact of meteorological factors on water table dynamics in a drained and a rewetted fen, using multiple regression with data from continuous high-resolution (temporal) water level monitoring and weather stations. We find that an increase in the daily mean VPD causes a higher drop in the water table at the drained and degraded fen compared to the rewetted fen. Precipitation contributes to recharge, causing the water table to rise higher at the drained site than at the rewetted site. We attribute the differential influence of meteorological conditions on water table dynamics to different soil specific yield values (i.e., water storage capacity) largely driven by lower water table position at the drained site. Our study underlines the importance of understanding how and why water tables in peatlands vary in response to meteorological factors for management decisions (e.g., rewetting). Continuous monitoring of water table and vegetation development in rewetted fen peatlands is advisable to ensure long-term success especially under climate change conditions and associated drought events.
